Stump, where ore was first discovered. 

Monument to the discovery of iron ore, 
erected by Jackson Iron Co. 



"TiN/TEGAUNEE is a thriving city of 8,460 people, of tfie upper peninsula of Michigan, 
^ located in the heart of the Marquette Iron Range. Its early history closely follows 
/ that of the development of the iron mining industry, to which it owes its existence. 

The first iron ore found in the Lake Superior district was that discovered in Negaunee 
in 1 844, at the base of an uprooted tree a mile southwest of Teal Lake. The honor of the 
discovery is divided among seven members of a party of government surveyors who were 
running township lines northward to the shore of Lake Superior. William A. Burt, deputy 
surveyor under Dr. Houghton, a government geologist, headed this party. He had been 
previously placed in charge of government surveys and geological examinations of the upper 
peninsula, and was one of the first men to make known to the world the valuable mineral 
resources of the region. 

The surveying parly reached the shore of Lake Superior on September I 5th, 1844, 
and then struck out southwest, camping on the east end of Teal Lake on September 1 8th. 
On the morning of the 1 9th, Mr. Ives, the compass man, noted a freakish variation of his 
instrument, which was a solar compass with a magnetic needle, and reported it to Mr. Burt. 
The men were then iordered to look around to see what they could find that might cause 
the variation. Th^y 'returned with specimens of iron ore, gathered from outcrops. The 
line they were running, on the first mile of which the discovery was made, later formed the 
eastern boundary of the section upon which the Jackson mine was afterwards found and opened. 
One year after the discovery of iron ore, a company was organized in Jackson, Mich., 
to explore the mineral lands of the upper peninsula. On July 23rd the articles of 
incorporation were read, and the following officers were named : president, Abram V. Berry; 
secretary, Frederick W. Kirtland; treasurer, Philo M. Everett; trustees, George W. Carr 
and William A. Ernst. On the same day of incorporation, a party of explorers, chief among 

gCI.A3l64!)5 



whom were P. M. Everett, S. T. Carr, W. H. Munroe and E. S. Rockwell, set out by boat for the Lake Superior district, and landing about 
ten miles northeast of the iron country, staked out and laid claim to the properly that was to be the Jackson mine. Other explorers followed the 
Jackson company's party, and with them came miners. These people established a colony on the Carp River. Some of them were member* 
of the Jackson company, and founders of some of the prominent pioneer families of Marquette County. 

The company placed camps of mmers to work on the ore bodies, and forges for reducmg the ore were built near Marquette. The expense 
of manufacturing iron here at that time made it an unprofitable venture. It was when this fact was realized, in the year 1850, that the firs' 
commercial shipment of ore from the Jackson property was sent down the lakes, where its high grade attracted the attention of Pittsburgh and 
Cleveland iron masters. These men invested capital and sent exploring parties to the territory to determine the extent of the deposits. From 
that time on settlement was rapid. The region was mapped out, and land acquired on government claims and permits were deeded. In the 
Chippewa tongue, Negaunee means "head", and this name was given the little colony of miners that had settled on the eastern slope of the "iron 
mountain," on which all of the mining operations were at first concentrated. The city has fulfilled the significance of the name it bears, which in 
free translation may mean "foremost", "pioneer" — an idea of primarily and advancement combined for its growth has been steady. In 1863, 
greater mining operalions had increased the population sufficiently and a village was organized. In 1870 the population was 2,560. In 1873 
a chatter was granted it, and the village became a city. During the following seventeen years growth was rapid, for in 1887 the population 
was 6,000. 

The Jackson Iron company's properly, where ore was first mined, was actively operated until a few years ago, when it was taken over by 
a large corporalion. A pyramid of rock and ore, bearing an embossed inscription on a sleel plale, was erected in 1 904 by the Jackson Iron 
company as a monument to the discovery of iron ore. It is three hundred feel distant from the spot on which lay the stump, at the roots of 
which the first ore was found. The stump was in existence until thirty years ago, when it was removed to facilitate mining. Wood from it was 
made into souvenirs, which have been carefully preserved. An iron slake driven through a boulder of ore marks the spot on which il lay. 

With the aid of science in recent years, some knowledge of the extent of the iron ore deposils has been gained, and the location of vast 
beds of ore have been ascertained. The diamond drill has been one of the greatest aids to the explorer, and through its use the existence of 
covered deposils of ore, until recently unsurmised, have been discovered. There is every reason to believe that from year to year other dis- 
coveries will be made; but even without these, the industrial stability of the city for years to come is assured. Twelve mines are being operated 
in the city, and there is promise of at least two new ones being opened within the next few years. The value of the minerals within the city 
limits has been found so high, that, in proportion to its size and population, Negaunee is one of the richest cities of the country.
